Type 1 model 1840 artillery sabre.This nice unmarked sabre is in great shape.The Ames artillery sabres were stamped so lightly that many times the markings are just worn away. There are no markings that would tell you it's an import either. Identical to the Ames in my collection but priced accordingly without any visible markings. Rack number 10 stamped in the brass and also the drag. No inspectors marks on the pommel but the state contracts were not inspector stamped.Great leather and wire wrap. Very nice full lenght blade with a few very small nicks that are felt more than seen. Priced accordingly without visible markings. $665.00
Here is a really cool relic.A .58 caliber Springfield bayonet that was carved into a fishing spear or frog gig! The bayonet was attached to a pole to be utilized.The socket still retains part of the original wooden shaft as dug. This relic appeared in American digger magazine and was dug in one of Shermans camps along the river in Atlanta. Diggers name will be given to the new owner. A really good example of how the soldiers would adapt to their surroundings and utilize the tools they had at their disposal.Boy if this one could talk!! $445.00
